Search within OneDrive using Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,658 Moderator

I want Company employees to be able to search within a particular folder of my OneDrive

 

For this OneDrive folder, I have set share permissions as anyone in organization with link can view.

 

Now I have created a Flow which searches through the folders based on user input and email all files to the user. I have a PowerApp which takes user input and run the Flow. 

 

It works perfectly when I run it from my account but fails when I used by another employee with exactly the same input.

 

Error on step: Find Files in Folder by Path

{
  "status"404,
  "message""The resource could not be found.",
  "source""api.connectorp.svc.ms"
}
 
Is it possible to have a Power App which takes user input and run Flow to search within my OneDrive folder?

    I solved this myself by changing trigger.

     

    When user submits data in PowerApps, instead of triggering flow from there, I am now storing data in SharePoint and triggering Flow when a new item is created in SharePoint List. This way Flow runs on my account and searches within OneDrive and emails the files.
